python/qmp: add send_fd_scm directly to QEMUMonitorProtocol

It turns out you can do this directly from Python ... and because of
this, you don't need to worry about setting the inheritability of the
fds or spawning another process.

Doing this is helpful because it allows QEMUMonitorProtocol to keep its
file descriptor and socket object as private implementation
details. /that/ is helpful in turn because it allows me to write a
compatible, alternative implementation.
